The W206 looks good, inside and out, imo. Mercedes has done consistently well on aesthetics. It's subjective. I hope the estate or all-terrain come to the US market.
I hope their reliability improves. It doesn't feel genuine to offer a car with the appearance, features and price of a modern Mercedes, with the reliability of a 1970s Pinto. |

C-Class Coupe and Cabriolet Survive for Another Generation
Despite countless rumors of the cancellation of both the C and E-Class line of two-doors, two (likely W206-based) cabriolet prototypes were spotted out in the wild. Some sources still speculate the new model will be rebranded the "CLE" and replace both the C and E 2-door models.

Overall pretty good, but a bit too much resemblance to the A- / CLA-Class.

I think that's by design to make the CLA look more appealing as an entry level luxury car. All current MB offerings essentially share similar front and rear end treatments. If you like the look you like the looks of all their offerings. If you don't like the look then you aren't going to like any of the brand's offerings. I don't mind the front end. It's not exciting but it's not offensive but I've never warmed to the sloping rear end profile. I'm not the target demographic though and I'm sure that demographic will be pretty happy with this.

The C63 is an absolute abomination. I have a deposit on one to order. Just saw it go around the track in camo almost completely silent.
New M2 behind it was roaring. 4-Cylinder is ZERO excuse for lack of sound. Porsche's Cayman has plenty of sound. MB does not listen to its customers at all they're completely out of touch. I read some statements on the car. They said they were developing this special system for exhaust sound in the cabin. What customer would prefer you to empty the budget on in cabin sound over outside sound? If the car sounds good outside you don't need inside. They also made it a plug-in. The other hybrid c-classes are not. What AMG customer wants to plug their track car into a wall? Just took the cars budget and went Willy nilly. I'm out a $1000 because I'm not buying this garbage lmao. |

Never put down a non-refundable deposit on a car that isn't out yet.

Still mad about the S2000 I had a deposit on for MSRP, only to get a call from the dealer when it arrived that it would be $10k over sticker and the dealership had changed ownership. Guess it worked out, bought an M Coupe instead.

Hopefully the dash isn't all fantastic plastic like the W205. The most embarrassing, laughable, inexcusable QC I have experienced for this type of car. Every part you touch would creek and forget about driving on imperfect roads, constant creaking from the dash going over bumps.
Mercedes may have aesthetically pleasing designs, but the overall quality leaves a lot to be desired - this goes for all their models. |

Just last week I was in my friend's C43 coupe and the B and C pillar were rattling. The retractable seatbelt mechanism squeezes every time. Such poorly built cars.

Overall this is pretty attractive, will be nice to finally see them at dealers. TBH Mercedes could have a real hit on their hands if they launched an EV version as well, it would attract back a lot of Tesla Model 3 people.
Instead in 2-3 years they will probably launch some ugly a$$ EQC.

I remember when they had the concept/production model at the auto show, it was on a spinning platform and you couldn't sit in it and this was before any press drives were available. I thought to myself, if this was the final design and if Mercedes actually put effort into making this a bit more fun to drive, it could completely dethrone the 3 Series. In reality it was complete disappointment. Quality was terrible, the drive wasn't as luxurious as you would expect a Mercedes to feel like even in this class but also didn't feel sporty like a 3 Series. Infotainment was absolute rubbish. Overall, it was pleasing to the eye but the experience was terrible. Everyone can complain about BMW's being too conservative with their interiors but their quality is never an issue. I still can't believe that something as expensive as a GLE/GLS has that dummy vent on the dash. Last edited by TheBingoBalls; 05-16-2022 at 07:34 PM.. |
